"I'm camped here in the coldest days of the winter so far. There is only 1 other RV here right now. The views of the bridge are spectacular both day and night! I can't wait to come back in the summer and fall!"
"This is one of my favorite Seashore State Parks. What makes it special is the water colliding when Indian River inlet enters Atlantic Ocean. Water is moving so fast here. It is absolutely dangerous to swim, but it is absolutely stunning to watch. There is a beach here here, beautiful view of a bridge. A nice campground is located on the other side of the bridge. We've camped there, we liked it, it was just lacking the privacy in our case. At night there was a beautiful iee of the bridge and could hear a little ocean waves. So, I highly recommend visiting this state park for a very nominal rate. Delaware"
"We visited on Labor Day weekend. We stayed in the cottages at the north inlet campground Indian river marina. We only visited the beaches on the north side on this trip, although we've stayed at this park multiple times on both sides. Once in tents and other in RV. The lifesaving station visitor center is an important place to visit to get all the info on the parks as well are local state parks that fall under their perview like Fenwick Island and Holtz Landing. They have info and trails and water conditions. This is where you'd go to get your gift shop items. They also have a live saving station museum you can tour for a cost. The beaches on Northside were great. We didn't use the bath houses really because we were staying in the cottages not too far away. There were a lot of surfers. Thinking this was because the hurricane winds were causing large waves. There was one sufer drowning further north over the weekend near rohobeth. It was hard to find a spot for the little kids to play with so many people. Friday was fine, but high tide Saturday went all the way to dune edges, so there was really no spot for you to set up your chairs and towels. Some people set up on the dunes with the grasses and were destroying them. Some kids were digging them out on purpose. It was hard to keep my mouth shut. We were there for almost 4 hrs and only saw one park ranger come by on a 4 ATV. Wife and kids did an 11 mile hike from the north inlet coin beach to tower beach at the north end and back. They said it was much harder than they expected because of the number of surf fishermen they had to walk around. The hike up wasn't bad, but the hike back there were many more people with trucks on the beach and loud music and drinking and not really fishing. Kind of ruined what they were hoping would be a nice nature hike on the beach. Hiking the bridge at night is a must. There were multiple families up there Sunday night when Bethany had Labor Day fireworks and also some location across the bay. You could see both clearly from the bridge. Only negatives were the number of visitors (which I assumed to be locals) who kept driving up the exit one way only road in the parking lot. Guessing this was to avoid having to pay for entry into the park. One almost hit us as we were leaving the parking lot. Staying on the campgrounds you can enter and leave the parking lot as you please with your parking pass. We were also packing up in the parking lot when a transformer on a power line blew. It was loud, and we called 911 after we noticed it started a fire. The fire department was quick to be on site and put the fire out, but the worst thing is that we didn't have power in the cottage on a really hot day for almost 7 hrs. The only other negative for the cottages themselves is that when they say to bring linens, that also means pillows and blankets. We only brought sheets and pillowcases. We had to drive to Walmart to buy pillows and blankets. Overall, we'd probably stay here again. We would probably do our best to avoid Labor Day weekend, however."
"Great place to stay if you’re vacationing on a budget. Both men’s and women’s restrooms were decently clean and honestly exceeded my expectations. Water temperature and pressure in the showers were also good. Tenting spaces are large and you can keep your car at your site as well. Each site also has a picnic table. We stayed in the South Side, across the bridge and it was beautiful. Very close walk to the beach, but you are also given a parking pass for the parking lot at the beach. Many of the tenting spaces are right next to a playground which was extremely noisy with screaming children until 11pm (even though there is a quiet time). The birds will also wake you up around 5am, too. But, it is to be expected! Get out there and enjoy the outdoors!"
